Three Sheffield men found guilty of killing a man in a daylight drive-by shooting were sentenced to a total of 90 years in prison, just a few moments ago.

Cohen, Gordon and Bryan were jailed for a combined total of 90 years, after being sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court today

The court was silent as Judge Stephen Males sent Matthew Cohen, Dale Gordon and Keil Bryan down for murdering 23-year-old Aseel Al-Essaie on February 18 last year.

They were found unanimously guilty of his murder earlier this month, following a seven week trial.

Each of the men were required to receive a mandatory 'life' sentence for the murder, but the individual minimum tariffs were set by Judge Males today.

Their sentences are as follows:

- Cohen, 29, of Clough View Road, Oughtibridge was jailed for life, to serve a minimum of 30 years

- Gordon, 33, of Benty Lane, Crosspool was jailed for life, to serve a minimum of 30 years

Matthew Cohen

- Bryan, 32, of Brackley Street, Burngreave was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 30 years

Sentencing the trio, who were found unanimously guilty earlier this month, to life in prison, Judge Males said: "He was a young man, only 22, who did not deserve to be shot down in cold blood. It is particularly unhappy that this happened on what should have been a joyful day for his family, the day of his sister's engagement."

James Good, 30, of Ringstead Crescent, Crosspool destroyed the murder vehicle, after Cohen asked him to dispose of it.
